First full testing sessions for Good Enough this weekend.

Right to the wire getting our AR character where we’d like it.

Blender was overwhelming at first, but quick tutorials with Will Braddon-milon got me started. Then I disappeared into deep concentration as the weekend evaporated, moulding and shaping this choreography.

The character appears in different forms throughout the 20-minute tactile experience.

Not every experiment goes to plan.

Good Enough is supported by through their Experiment fund, and that word matters. It gives us room to try, fail and learn without needing the answer straight away.

This is our AR test character in Blender, and the model isn’t sitting with the frame. The result is a body stretched and folded in ways no dancer could manage.

For a choreographer, editing movement in 3D is a whole new language. It’s abstract, it’s data-heavy, and there’s no fixed point of view. Working it out alongside , and Will Braddon-milon has been humbling and genuinely exciting.

This is the bit you don’t usually see. We thought you should.

🔍 Come and be a tester. 
We’re inviting people to try Good Enough in Glasgow Mon 26 Oct, Civi House or at Sat 24 Oct. It’s a 30-minute, one-person immersive experience, and your feedback will shape what comes next.

Creative producer wanted 
Good Enough is moving into its next stage, and we’re looking for a Scotland-based creative producer with experience of the immersive arts/dance world to come on board. 
Most of all, we’re looking for someone who genuinely connects with the way we make work. Someone who wants to make work with us, not just for us.

It’s a freelance role, paid project by project, with a long-term relationship in mind.

Want to see the work first? Join us for our testing session and talk on Monday 26th October at Civic House, Glasgow.

Interested? Send us a DM. We’d love to chat.

It’s nearly time.

Good Enough is an immersive storybox about the hidden self, and we’re opening the doors to one-to-one tester spots in Argyll and Glasgow.
It’s been a great ride these last few months and a real team effort. It’s also turned out to be more autobiographical than I could have anticipated at the start. Lots of learning, plenty of space to develop more, and thanks to Creative Scotland, this is only the start of our conversations with our LGBT+ community.

Now we need you to come and test it.

📍 Cove Park, Argyll · Sat 24 Oct Solo experiences 12–3pm · Artist talk 4–6pm
📍 Civic House, Glasgow · Mon 26 Oct Solo experiences from 12.30pm · Artist talk 7.30pm

What a thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding experience The Big Thing was for us. Thank you Immersive Arts UK and Crossover Labs and to everyone behind the scenes for making the event happen. We met so many people and had some great conversations. Loved it!

I’m totally gob smacked by the generous spirit, warmth and positive support I’m getting for our Experiment project ‘Good Enough’ as we demo at The Big Thing Immersive Arts UK. And a massive shout out to our cohort 2 buddies who thanks to this programme we have really bonded. If you’re at the event come to chat to me in the demo area.

Please if you have a few spare minutes can you dive into our online user test. It's hopefully going to give us an early steer on what type of visual illustration we opt for. Very much appreciated.

I love my job and these wonderful crazy creative moments! Collaborating with other artists really shows how when we put our minds to it and with the resources you have to hand to you can make anything happen.   After my first attempt of reading a script with our amazing composer there were just a few elements where I lost it and made my talking more performative than keeping it truthful.   John’s down south. I’m up in Scotland. When distance makes it difficult to do a retake you find a workaround. I’m incredibly grateful for one of our filmmakers on the project stepped in. What a fun afternoon sat in her cupboard under the stairs with makeshift sound dampers, top notch microphone and Louise being my ‘yes/no that’s a great take’.
